    FITSNews' Week in Review returns with a vengeance. Founding editor Will Folks and research director Jenn Wood break down the latest developments in the Alex Murdaugh appeal, with a decision from the S.C. Supreme Court now imminent.What happens if the justices -- as widely expected -- reverse Murdaugh's convictions and remand his case back to the circuit court? FITSNews.com has answers, while Will has some blunt words for the powerful interests who have sought to intimidate this news outlet into backing away from the inconvenient truths at the heart of this case.Will also sat down with FITSNews chief photographer and researcher Andrew Fancher to discuss the long-awaited sentencing date announcement in the federal case against former Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright. Fancher also previewed Devil's Right Hand, an investigative series into the disgraced former lawman.Also on this week's program: an update in the mysterious death of Daniel Reed “DJ” Smith, whose body was found on a remote stretch of railroad tracks nearly seven years ago.Chapters:0:00 — Back With a Vengeance1:12 — Alex Murdaugh's Appeal & the Pressure Campaign Against FITSNews19:37 — A Body on the Tracks and an Official Story Under Fire in Civil Court30:40 — Disgraced Former Sheriff Chuck Wright Gets a Federal Sentencing DateFor the latest on these story and more, subscribe to FITSNews on site: https://fitsnews.comMore ways to support: On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FITSTube?sub_confirmation=1On X/Twitter: https://x.com/fitsnews/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fitsnews/On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fitsnews

    February featured significant developments in multiple stories FITSNews has been tracking for years.We reported on three major legal proceedings this month: Alex Murdaugh's appeal before the S.C. Supreme Court, the Scott Spivey civil stand your ground hearing – which concluded in a ruling against defendant Weldon Boyd, and the quadruple murder trial which this afternoon resulted in a guilty verdict against defendant Amy Vilardi.We'd be remiss if we didn't also discuss our Andrew Fancher's multiple exclusive reports on disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein's South Carolina ties.Fancher also has delivered his latest installment in the Chuck Wright saga, which has chronicled the downfall of Spartanburg County's former sheriff.The largest political publication in America penned a sprawling feature story about U.S. congresswoman Nancy Mace focusing on her personal and political evolution. The piece pulls together themes we've been discussing for months and features an attention to detail rarely seen in 21st century journalism.Finally, two of the Palmetto State's top political troublemakers, state representative Joe White and first circuit solicitor and attorney general candidate David Pascoe stirred the pot at the S.C. State House by taking aim at the Palmetto State's sole statue of limitations, one that imposes a four year time limit on the prosecution of public corruption.
